The Toronto Palestine Film Festival (TPFF) is proud to present four works by emerging Toronto-based Palestinian filmmakers Leila Almawy, Kalil Haddad, Rana Nazzal and Serene Husni. Produced by the 2020 Local Pals Residency of Toronto Palestine Film Festival, in partnership with Trinity Square Video -- Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT). After many workshops and long conversations we are extremely excited to share their work with you!
Co-presented by LIFT and Trinity Square Video
When he was 13, Hammoudeh was presented with a crucial test of character. Instead of being punished for skipping school, he was entrusted with managing the family allowance for two weeks. To feed his three siblings, he resorted to something he always knew: in a Palestinian house, the pantry is never bare. Borrowing from classic elements of Palestinian storytelling—namely repetition, trickery, and an obsession with food—Brown Bread & Apricots is a story about a family in exile and an unruly teenage boy.
